I wanted to follow up on this, since there haven't been any responses this week. Does anybody have any feedback on whether the issue of how ECMAScript functions that also have a handleEvent property behave as event listeners is an issue worth addressing? I definitely think it is a legitimate point of confusion for authors and deserves some discussion, especially since DOM Level 3 Events is closing down. -Rob On Jun 17, 2011, at 9:56 PM, Rob Brackett wrote: > On Jun 17, 2011, at 9:26 PM, Boris Zbarsky <bzbarsky@MIT.EDU> wrote: > >> On 6/17/11 11:07 PM, Rob Brackett wrote: >>> But it seems disappointing that such flexibility and consistency in the API would be sacrificed for an optimization in Internet Explorer. >> >> Not just IE.

However, any WebKit implementation that uses JavaScriptCore, which I believe represents a wide variety of mobile browsers using WebKit (not just iOS), currently differs from the spec. So not all implementations agree. > > -Rob >
